It has been a long time waiting, but it looks like we are just moments away from the highly anticipated Black Ops 2 Uprising DLC release time for PS3 and PC platforms. The new content will add four new multiplayer maps, but more importantly – the release of the new Mob of the Dead zombie map as well.
This particular map pack release is somewhat stranger as usual, since we often see new Call of Duty DLC releases on a Tuesday. However, Treyarch has opted to unleash Uprising slightly later – either late Wednesday night in the US or the early hours of Thursday morning for those who have woken up early in Europe.
In multiplayer games the true professionals show. The Gameswelt editors selected the ten best and most popular multiplayer maps.
If u ever played metal Gear Online u would see they had some of the most balanced maps ever. Some people have recreated them in Far Cry 3's level editor (ps3) and breaking down the maps alone would make for a great study on level design.
Also Counter-Strike's maps are very balanced too. And some of MW2's maps. After MW2, the maps (and subsequently the spawns) in COD games really started to get rediculously unbalanced.
GameDynamo - "Call of Duty: Black Ops II's second map pack, Uprising, was recently released as part of the $50 season pass bundle or as a $15 map pack. Consisting of 4 brand new maps and a new gameplay type for the popular Zombies mode, this map pack is meatier than the previous offers in the season pass, so it may be worth buying individually for some."
Skewed and Reviewed have posted their review for the new Black Ops 2 map pack Uprising. They cite that the new maps offer some fun gameplay but do not offer anything that new or different. They cite the new zombie mode Mob of the Dead as a plus and say this set should tide over hardcore fans until the next pack is released.
Took long enough geez.
I wish I could buy just the zombies part of Black Ops 2. Like how in FTP Uncharted 3 you can buy the co-op separate and still have a level cap for if you don't play multiplayer much.
I think the MW3 way of DLC was better where we got something every month. It meant that after the first month of xbox exclusivity, PS3 owners still got something every month.
Dat timed DLC.
